New treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection using tegoprazan
Official title: Efficacy of Tegoprazan-containing Sequential Therapy Compared to Proton Pump Inhibitor-based Eradication in South Korea, a Region With High Antimicrobial Resistance: A Prospective Randomized Single Tertiary Center Study
Run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital · NCT06382493 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new 10-day treatment using tegoprazan to see if it can more effectively get rid of Helicobacter pylori infections compared to the usual treatment with esomeprazole.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection confirmed by specific testing methods.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease, or those who are pregnant or nursing will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a 10-day sequential treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection that includes tegoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, compared to a conventional treatment that uses esomeprazole. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to assess the eradication rates of H. pylori in patients with confirmed infections. Given the high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in regions like Korea, this trial aims to explore alternative antibiotic combinations to improve treatment outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective option for eradicating H. pylori infections, particularly in patients with antibiotic resistance.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with potassium-competitive acid blockers in H. pylori treatment, but this specific approach is relatively novel.
